I just realized "hoist" may not fit the question
Actually, for the noun you may simply use "load"...:
A hoist is a device used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or barrel around which rope or chain wraps. It may be manually operated, electrically or pneumatically driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its lifting medium. (From Wikipedia)

3 hrs confidence:
3 hrs confidence: sling/slingful (of cargo)
Explanation:
Apesar da explicação dada po um dos colegas estar correcta para o conjunto descritivo do que é uma lingada, gostaria de acrescentar que a carga também faz parte do conjunto e que, no contexto da estiva, o termo lingada é muitas vezes utilizado para a movimentação de uma leva da carga que será descarregada do/carregada para o navio.
Sling (mais usada) ou slingful são duas possibilidades.
Fui caixeiro de mar numa agência de navegação durante 7 anos e lidei com todos os agentes intervenientes, desde tripulações estrangeiras e nacionais a estivadores, operadores portuários, etc.

Só a título de exemplo, os operadores portuários fazem estimativas para completar determinados tipos de descargas de navios através do número de lingadas restantes, ex.: faltam umas 10 lingadas para o navio ficar pronto / para terminar a descarga/carga do navio.
